Queen’s Puppy Dies.

I have had 5 dogs and have been devastated each time one has been put to sleep. Cats too for that matter.

Alexa are you a dog owner, your responses do sound like you aren’t? For many people a dog is an integral part of the family, and you are devastated when they die.

Being realistic has nothing to do with the grief of losing a much loved dog.

The Queen from what we hear is realistic enough to not be devastated about the death of her dog. Naturally she will be sad as we are often told how she loves her dogs.

So sad for the Queen to lose one of her pups so soon, I'm sure that like all dog lovers she will be very upset and my heart goes out to her and anyone who has recently lost their pet.

If one of my dogs died I would be devastated, they are my only
companions , three years ago I woke one morning and one of my dogs lying near me had died in the night, I was devastated then.

She will not be devastated, she will be sad.

Says who? How do you know?

Devastated can also be defined as 'very shocked and upset' which I think would be absolutely how she is feeling. I hope the other puppy is healthy, and that they weren't from the same litter.

She will not be devastated, she will be sad.

I think it’s a dorgie rather than a corgi. I imagine that’s a cross between a dachshund and a corgi.

Thanks- with all our pets, all rescues, we have always tried to work out just when the right time is. He had been diagnosed with kidney problems about 5 weeks ago- and went downhill very quickly.

My sympathies Kali2 it is a brave decision to make, but so very very hard.
Giving a dog the best life it can have, should help to ease the grief and pain, but somehow the head and the heart don’t see things the same way ?

Glad she still has the one to bond with. We have had to pts our nearly 16 year old dog on Monday- and it is so hard. He was such a comfort during all this Covid isolation from our family, and GC were so sad they could not see her again.

I feel so sad for the Queen as loosing a pet is devastaing. And so soon after loosing Philip as well.

Very sad to lose a beloved pet. The Times has said the 2 puppies were a gift from Prince Andrew to cheer her up when her husband was in hospital.

So, so sad. Poor lady, and poor little puppy who has lost its mate.

Off to give my dogs a hug.

It's very hard to lose a pet especially at such a time. I sympathise with the Queen.
I think the puppy had a congenital problem but still hard to bear another loss.

I'm sure she is. It's hard enough to lose a pet at any time. I've found that since losing someone close (as she has in her husband recently), pet death is even harder to deal with.

Could not agree more [ sad]

It's so sad isn't it, only 5 months old and died of heart failure.

Oh dear me. Life is just so unfair and unkind at times and I'm sure we can all sympathise with this sadness. So sad.

Oh how sad

I wonder if they were like "his and hers" puppies or maybe Prince Philip named that particular puppy .
I can understand why she is so upset.

This is so sad. She's devastated and the other puppy must feel lost on it's own.

Aww. What a shame. I'm sure she must be devastated just as any of us would be. What a sad thing to happen.

I'm sure she is. It's hard enough to lose a pet at any time. I've found that since losing someone close (as she has in her husband recently), pet death is even harder to deal with.
